If the front end is sprung properly for the rider’s weight, 25mm is a non-issue. If stock springs, it can get dangerous quickly at stock ride height for riders over 180 lbs.Be careful how far you go. I have NO idea how this stands on the V7, but, on my DR650 if you raise the forks (in the triple clamps) more than 5/8", you risk the fork sliders hitting the lower triple clamp if you bottom the suspension. Others in the DR world have done expensive damage by not taking heed. Other than that, please let us know what you settle on.
